Ms Naughty looks at porn for women, feminism and sex in general
Browsing Amazon I discovered a book of erotic fiction that’s piqued my interest. Enchanted: Erotic Bedtime Stories for Women, by Nancy Madore, takes 13 standard fairy tales and gives them a dirty twist. Think threesomes with Snow White, Prince Charming and a maid, or lusty liaisons between Beauty and the Beast. Now, there’s something about the very idea of this that fascinates me. So many “children’s stories” have an undercurrent Read More …

I just had to laugh at the opinion piece by Shaunti Feldhahn proclaiming the serious dangers women face if they read romance novels. I was concerned to learn that many romance novels are not as harmless as they look. In fact, some marriage therapists caution that women can become as dangerously unbalanced by these books’ entrancing but distorted messages as men can by distorted messages of pornography. Oh my God!

Nouse Magazine has an article about women making money from sex – lingerie, sex therapy and erotic writing. Featured is Emily Dubberley, creator of Cliterati and editor of Scarlet Magazine, the UK womens mag that features a lot of erotic fiction. “I was pissed off and thought that there should be some out there. I chatted to about 200–300 women over a year, asking, ‘What do you want in a Read More …
I had things to do this morning. Instead, I wasted time mucking about on MySpace, doing that thing where you jump from a friend to their friend to their friends… and hitting “add to friends.” Anyway, thanks to this meandering I found an online magazine called SheVibe. This site looks gorgeous and it has some interesting erotic content and articles. I’m always pleased to see another contribution to the women’s Read More …
Just a quickie – the lovely Gwen Masters is having her own short story contest.

Gwen won last years FTG erotic fiction contest and is a columnist and regular contributor to For The Girls. And don’t forget to check out our own contest Read More …

I was honoured to be asked to take part in Rachel Kramer Bussel’s kinky virtual book tour for her two erotic anthologies She’s On Top and He’s On Top. When asked which book I’d prefer, I went with the latter, perhaps because – vanilla chick that I am – I’m really a sub at heart. It seemed like He’s On Top would make for sexier reading. One thing I did Read More …
Simone took several deep breaths of the cool night air with satisfaction. The stars were out, and the night was unusually warm. Crickets chirped conspiratorially, sharing their own secrets, oblivious to the human intruders in their midst. Surprisingly for this time of year, they were alone at the campsite. It was just her and Gavin, both of them thrilled to have the place to themselves, surrounded by the towering trees Read More …
Cream turns me on. Luscious, smooth, thick, thick cream. Dollops of it. Bowlfuls of it, oozing, running, flowing. A lusty indulgence, a sinful luxury in a non-fat, low-carb, asparatame-flavored world, a plethora of tasty sensuality poured out and consumed hungrily. Even the word cream is lustrous. It lives quietly in the mouth, a breathy utterance that ends in a smile. It evokes the texture and taste and the gentle, velvety Read More …
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone. I don’t actually do much with it. Everyday is Valentine’s for me and my husband. And I can never think of anything decent to give him anyway. It is, of course, a fine excuse to drink champagne, and I’ll be doing quite a bit of that today. OK, so here’s a bit of smut for you to celebrate the day. Hawaiian Valentine. “I want the cliché,” Read More …

Audio books are becoming increasingly popular, according to this report, and sex is a popular topic. When Audible started nine years ago, “porn” and “sex” were popular Web search terms, even more so than now. So as an Internet company, Audible chose to offer racy titles. It now has hundreds of briskly selling erotica offerings, most available only as downloads, and increasingly geared toward women, including the “Herotica” series edited Read More …
